Our newest Focused Feedback Forum went live last week, and we are amazed by the activity and discussions taking place.

This feedback session takes a look at the new Squadrons feature. A Squadron is a group of Commanders who want to band together and organise themselves in-game. This might be to play together or to focus on certain types of gameplay such as bounty hunting, Community Goals, or perhaps rescuing Commanders who find themselves out of fuel.

This week the Anaconda gets another dose of technological extravagance as the Fusion Paint Jobs hit shipyards across the galaxy. It's for Commanders that enjoy the ‘crackling with unimaginable power’ look.

As always, these new styles can be found in the Livery, or by searching on your respective platform stores!

There has been widespread disquiet over recent reports that Thargoid ships have been encountered in the core systems. Admiral Aden Tanner, chief military liaison for Aegis, addressed these concerns, saying, “Reports that the Thargoids are encroaching upon the core systems en masse are grossly overstated. The enemy is contained.”

INVESTIGATION INTO LEAGUE OF REPARATION CONTINUES

A multi-agency taskforce investigating the League of Reparation, the organisation responsible for the murder of Senator Nestor Cartesius, has made significant progress. Captain Niamh Seutonia of the IISS confirmed that the League is better organised and more widely spread than first suspected, and that all evidence points to an extremely committed group.

UTOPIA CAMPAIGN CONCLUDES

The Utopia campaign to construct a military installation in its home system has now concluded. Many traders delivered a huge quantity of construction material to Bobko City, which will be used to build defences for the Sim-Archive. Other independent pilots protected the operation by eliminating pirate vessels.

Nice try. But that wont do anything. I have proposed numerous times that newsletters would get more content and real news but so far no one from Fdev has reacted to those.
This "newsletter" is aimed only for new and absent players. For active players, theres really nothing "new".

I know it's unlikely, but I have to try, maybe I'll open other peoples eyes in the process.
I don't think it's really aimed at new or absent players. It's sole purpose seems to shill their micro-transactions.

There are a number of people complaining about the newsletter and its volume of content and also complaining about people thanking those who go to the trouble of providing access, the thing is if you discourage those who praise the effort away there will only be negative comments about the newsletter which is not going to be any incentive to keep it running never mind improve it.

As for it advertising for the store of course it does that is what non internal company newsletters do, FDev aren't a company to provide us with games and content they are a company to make money providing us with games and content.

For those that complain about the lack of news each week, how much news do you expect each week, it's only a week how much game related stuff has happened that can be talked about do you think there is?

So is this game dead ? newsletters just promoting the store and its many pointless baubles, no news about anything exiting gameplay wise, no new large ships, no planets with atmosphere etc, maybe a new species of dinosuar for Jurrasic park has been created called the Eliteosaurus, a plodding dinosuar that has no desire to do anything exept chew on pieces of food fans have bought from the store and lies down all day asleep for at least 10 hours at a time.

A lot more focused feedbacks forum coming in the next few weeks (Fleet carriers, mining & exploration)...also patch 3.1 should arrive pretty soon.

The flash topic created 2 days ago about Power Play have already over 1000 replies...I don't call that dead.

2018 won't be a year big new features (atmospherics planets, space legs, etc) but atleast FD are working on fleshing out parts of the game that needed some love and improving some aspects of it.

Then if all this wonderful stuff is coming out the newsletter would be the place to put this information, if all they want to do is talk about baubles in the store for sale in the so called newsletter then they should call the newsletter the Store sales catalogue.
